A tiny wearable built for capturing thoughts instantly
Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky has unveiled the Pebble Index 01, a minimalist $75 smart ring designed for fast, reliable voice capture. Worn on the index finger, the device contains only a microphone and a single button. It resembles a tightly cinched cable tie and is meant to function as “external memory for your brain,” offering a frictionless way to record ideas, reminders, or tasks throughout the day.
A long press activates the mic, and recordings automatically sync to the Pebble app on iOS and Android via Bluetooth. The ring stores up to five minutes of local audio and includes an onboard transcription model, allowing it to function even without an internet connection. Migicovsky says the battery should last for years because the device is only used in brief bursts.
Designed for natural, hands-free productivity
The Index is aimed at quick captures: voice notes, reminders, timers, and task creation. The Pebble app can route these recordings intelligently. Migicovsky sends all his notes directly to Notion, while reminders trigger notifications on both phone and Pebble watch. On Android, the ring can even set alarms within the system Clock app.
Pebble’s upcoming watches — including the Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2 — also support voice input. But Migicovsky insists the ring remains essential: it works fast, requires only two fingers, and doesn’t demand pulling out a phone or raising a wrist.
